Last week Kathryn was named the Royal Statistical Society’s 2015 Regional Journalist of the year for a report that revealed suicide had killed as many people as the violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The Royal Statistical Society's award for Investigative Journalism also went to The Detail.

The accolade was awarded to American journalist Jon McClure for his work on The Detail’s Script Report. The acclaimed project examined 36 million prescription records to show that Northern Ireland has one of the world’s highest prescription rates for antidepressant medicines.

In further awards success The Detail was earlier this month named Best Local/Regional News Site at the prestigious Online Media Awards in London.
